I saw this movie, on opening day, in Tucson, Arizona. I remember it like yesterday. I was skating with my best friends, outside the theatre, and I broke my board, doing a trick. I was heartbroken and the movie cured me but it made me want to skate even more... What a great time to grow up! A fantastic movie and an instant classic for my generation.

Bad movie, great skating
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :0
Everyone who likes this movie likes it for the skating or has/had a crush on Christian Slater. Its possible to fit in both categories, too, of course.

Gleaming the Cube has a weak plot that fails to engage and the quality of the acting varies widely from actor to actor and from scene to scene. The clunky direction doesnt do much to improve things, although there is some amazing editing work.

Christian Slater was new to being a "star" at the time of filming for Slater fans, this is definitely worth watching to measure his growth as an actor.

For skateboarding fans, theres no point in bothering to follow the plot--just sit back and watch some super hot skating and youll enjoy it. Tony Hawks skating in this movie is legendary for good reason but all the skaters turn in excellent performances.

Skateboarding classic

If youre searching for this movie, you know how awesomely 80s it is. While I can hardly say I watch it for its strong acting and captivating story, its a great flashback to when skateboarders wherent the popular kids and the goal wasnt to make it to the X-games. Sweet movie to watch while drinking some beers with your friends.

"B" Movie At Its Best!
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :6
The skate scenes alone merrit this movie great. In its day it was a great skater movie. With new and improved DVDs, and videos on skating it has lost a little. But in the "B" movie world its ranked up there at the top of the list with the rest. Some plot lines are ridiculous, but just to check out the underground bedroom, the scenes with a young Tony Hawk, and the skateboard we all wanted...Cmon admit it! Rent it, Burn it, love it! "B" movie greatness!
